OPPO A 6 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy A27

Our Verdict: This is a close comparison in places, but OPPO A 6 Pro has a useful edge from IP68 water resistance. Samsung Galaxy A27 balances that with a 6.7" screen and a 50MP rear camera. That leaves OPPO A 6 Pro as the better fit for feature-led buyers, while Samsung Galaxy A27 still works well for a different set of needs.

On price there's almost nothing between them: both work out around £353 over a full contract.
